Brassia caudata grows all the way from Florida to northern South America. It is warm to hot growing and is quite fragrant. This Brassia is a good indoor plant for you if you can grow Dendrobiums.

When I repot a collection plant I often end up with a single backbulb.

09/12/2008 - Sprouting is well started.
